In a release later in the day Sunday, the city said the bridge was closed after reports of "unsound conditions" on the bridge deck. 

An inspection found some asphalt on the roadway had come loose, which required repairs.

In a tweet shortly after 5 p.m. the city said the bridge had been reopened to traffic.
